Hello!

I bought 1992 Prelude SI VTEC imported from Japan in 2001 and I have a
problem with insurance on this car in UK. Most of the companies
rejected SI, because they don't cover Japan import Preludes.
Elephant.co.uk agreed to insure the car, but when I phoned them, agent
told me, that they also don't cover it and asked me about engine
capacity. They cover only 2157cc, where in my logbook is 2150cc (in
import papers from Jap there's 2.15l). What's wrong with my car?
Previous owner had it for 4 years and had no problems with an
insurance, but when I tried to get a quote on his company's website,
they also rejected my car. Does anyone have that problem and solved
it? Please help me, I love driving this car, but I'm doing it illegal
now.

Regards
Kamil

your log book's wrong. insure it as 2157. [actually 2156]

OK, but thats still not all. All companies I asked, rejected to insure
1992 SI VTEC. Does anyone here have this model and could tell me, which
company insured his Honda? I'm desperate.
